Pine River Review: World Bird Wednesday

Thought I would submit one of my bird photos from this week to be part of World Bird Wednesday. It’s the first time I have ever contributed to this site and hope that my entry is of a reasonable standard.

It is of an Osprey. I had to use my zoom but as it is only a 200mm length it was difficult to focus properly on the bird as it glided across the sky. I’ve attempted to sharpen up the image and had to crop it a bit. It could be better but you have to start somewhere.

Sure is up to standard and above! I love flight shots and am not good enough to gt them. Like springman says though, the meme is for bird lovers, you don’t have to be a professional photographer. And those who are pros always have made me feel welcome as an amateur (both amateur photographer and amateur birder). Thanks for sharing! They’re beautiful birds.

Thank you Sallie. I really appreciate the encouragement. I would like to think that I could post something on WBW on a regular basis. Ospreys are rare birds in the UK but there are a lot more here in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. There are also bald eagles and other raptors. Here’s hoping I get some of those!!

They have put up ‘nesting posts’ for the ospreys here in the Okanagan Valley. I know of one nest that has been utilised this year and I am watching those birds with interest too. Saw the ‘dad’ come in with food the other day but I was too far away to get a photo unfortunately.
Thanks for visiting Russel.
